Promisses and time

People make promisses all the time. Some mean something others mean nothing. They can be kept or broken. Some promisses are fufilled in a short time, others take years before they are fufilled. What can one do while waiting for a promiss like this to come to pass? All one can do is wait. Whether the wait be an hour or several years.
Slow so slow. Time passes me by. Speeding up on ocasion to make a few hours seem like a few minuts. There are times I want time to go slow to stop even. But it goes by so quickly. There are times that I want time to speed up so that waiting for things to happen won't take so long. But time crawls by at a snails pace.
Life seems to be made up of waiting for what you want and getting what you want and having it last a precious moment.
